Edenton, N.C: The Statue is Down

Every Saturday since 2021, Move the Monument Coalition members protested to remove the Confederate statue standing in the town square of Edenton, NC since 1961. The Edenton Bell Battery Chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans protested to keep the statue in place. Late in the evening of August 30, 2025, the statue was removed and temporarily placed in a walled enclosure at the old Chowan County Jail.

Now, we bring you the latest chapter in the fight to end racism and make the town welcoming for all.
